Looking forward to meeting everyone in NYC on March 31.
Anyone have an idea for a good place to have this get together?
Not sure where we will stay or where everyone else will be but I guess for a big city we can find each other fairly easily.
As of now I think we will arrive by train from DC on March 31 and stay 2 nights.
All suggestions welcome!

This is my first posting after many months of enjoyment following your interesting reports and outings.
I will finally be in lisbon april 18th, 19th and 20th. I have virtually all day the 19th free, the others i am busy at a convention and dinners.
Is there anything going on at lunch time i could attend between my touristy jaunt around the areas of lisbon? or that i should not miss besides the normal tourist fare?
thanks in advance, your NYC trip sounds great.
i have used priceline for hotels there. up to four rooms are bookable at once..
and the south street seaport half price ticket booth is never crowded like the times square one.
have fun!

Consider the 'Snout' clan IN ! We're looking forward to seeing Joao, Gertrude, Matt, Liz, Caroline again and meeting everyone else ! This time - Susan WILL be healthy !!
We'll probably get into the city on Thursday or Friday and would be happy to get together with some Fodorites / LDC folks when we aren't otherwise stuffing our faces with Italian food at Carmine's !!

Hello Lobo and Matt,
I just booked our tickets to Lisbon for June 27-July 10. Can’t wait to experience Portugal and already wish we had more time there.
We are not too far from NY and hope if schedule permits to meet you on March 31. Please let me know if it’s possible. My email is [email protected].

Many thanks to lobo mau and Matt for organizing dinner at Adega das Gravatas at the most recent meeting of the LDC on March 17. Fantastic food (really, it was exceptional and that's not something I say casually) and lovely company by way of Switzerland.
We loved absolutely everything about Lisbon, and this evening was particularly nice.

We are a family of 12! coming to Lisbon on August 3, staying for 6 nights and then heading up north to find my mother's roots! we are 4 sisters (42, 49, 50, 51) my mother (78 and spry!), assorted spouses and 4 children, (ages 15 to 20. we would love to know YOUR Lisbon and your restaurants, maybe even a night at Fado or Campo Pequeno. My mother and I speak Portuguese (mine has become more Brazilian as I studied in Rio and work in the states with Brazilians). We are a big family that loves to eat and drink, and have a good time. Any chance we can arrange something? I read your view about Marvao instead of Obidos, we plan on going there, too!

Hi, Lisbonites! Welcome to the US. I hope you have a wonderful time.
I wish we could be there but the timing is wrong for us.
We certainly have fond memories of the LDC back in October. You are the best!

Welcome to the US. I have celebrated your arrival by finishing up The Maias this afternoon and by going to hear a concert by Mariza last weekend in an audience that was mostly Portuguese. Ready to welcome the Portuguese delegation to New York now.

Oh boy! I didn't previously understand how big the apple was!!!
We walked all the way from Penn station to the middle of Central Park and back. It was quite a long ride. Boys slept non stop since 10pm to 7 and a half this morning.
Everything is beautiful so far. The high notes are the pond views (central park) with nice views of the NYC skyline and the atmosphere in Times Square after it gets dark. Never very dark anyway. We were too tired to appreciate, but we plan to return there. KR from lobo mau and the wolves' pack.

We've been to the Statue of Liberty, ground zero, Ellis Island, to a Broadway production (the phantom of the opera) and to Philadelphia (liberty bell, independence hall, etc)
The higher point has been the feeling of security in NYC at any time.
We haven't find negative points, so far. Stay tuned. Lobo Mau reporting live, somewhere in NYC.
